Pros

Coworkers (peers) are the one thing I truly miss. Not sure if that qualifies are company pro or just good relationships building.

Cons

Senior management and executive management doesn’t have your back. Executive management is only interested in their bottom line and showing a profit. They are not even investing in training their employees properly. Worked at Umpqua for 8 years. As soon as they didn’t need me, they were quick to let me go. Tried to reach out to my senior and executive management... they kept directing me to HR. ‘The Worlds Greatest Bank’, I’d have to disagree.

Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
